Advocates for victims of child sex abuse are calling on church officials to investigate Newark Archbishop John Myers over his handling of the Rev. Michael Fugee, who in 2001 confessed to groping a teenage boy. In an agreement with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, Fugee and the Newark archdiocese agreed that Myers would be barred from working with children, but the priest has been attending church youth events, including retreats. At a protest next to the archdiocese headquarters in Newark, New Jersey director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests Mark Crawford called for Myers to step down or be removed.
